It is with pride that we would like to announce the 2nd anniversary of Digital Salutem!!
November 2 years ago we started with a mission to change digital healthcare innovation whilst having a positive impact on businesses and society. Our multidisciplinary group of digital health experts worked hard and we achieved a lot. We connected and collaborated with some amazing clients including a few of the most innovative health insurers in Europe and Nokia Health, a recognised world class innovator in digital health. But that is far from all.
It was an exciting year and as always we attended a variety of industry events including;
- London Health Show – London – January 2016
- eHealth Week – Amsterdam – June 2016
- Internet of Healthcare Conference – London – September 2016
- HIMSS Europe – WoHIT – Barcelona – November 2016
- Wearable Technology Show – London- March 2017
- Up Rise Festival – Amsterdam – April 2017
- TechXLR8/London Tech Week – London – June 2017
- Insurance IoT Europe Summit – London – June 2017
- MedFIT – MedTech Innovation – Grenoble, France – June 2017
- IoT Smart Summit – London – September 2017
- WHINN – Week of Health – Odense, Denmark – October 2017
Our CEO, João Bocas, shared his knowledge and innovative mind during these events. Speaking about the challenges and opportunities digital health brings and closely watching the trends and developments in the market we state that this year the battle to change healthcare has kicked off somewhat stronger than the previous years. 2017 is the year of new wearable insights. This year’s prediction of the device market give an compound annual growth (CAGR) of 22,2% until 2021. That means that by 2021 262,5 million wearables are to be shipped worldwide. In 2016 this wasn’t even half, 96,5 million. This marks a big milestone in the market of digital health.
As for us, Digital Salutem, we continued our good work and stepped up our game this year in terms of growth and brand recognition. Not only was our CEO, João Bocas, named as top 100 global digital health influencer, our brand, Digital Salutem, was likewise named in the top 50 global brands in digital health! Our network now comprises over 10.000 influential contacts in over 20 different countries and we since short started a new collaboration with London South Bank University. Here we support the delivery of simDH (Simulation for digital health) program, helping healthTech startups to have a greater chance of succeeding in the complex and volatile healthcare market.
We are looking forward to this new year. Having extended our portfolio, knowledge, team and increased the brand awareness we expect to be able to help even more organisations reach their health innovation goals. Bringing people together, ensuring proper solution-based innovation and disruptive change in healthcare is what we strive for. We are part of something bigger than us and are sure that with Digital Salutem and our partners we can create the incredible, valuable and needed change in healthcare.
Lastly, we are extremely excited about a new partnership with a leading world-class innovator from Denmark. To be announced soon……!!
